For many Australians their experience of social exclusion is temporary. Of greatest concern are the people for whom exclusion recurs or lasts a long time: the 27% of people who were excluded to some degree in at least three years within this ten-year period, and the 6% who experienced deep exclusion in at least three years. Social exclusion in at least three years is considered to be ‘persistent’ exclusion.

The social exclusion monitor is the work of the Brotherhood of St Laurence and the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research (MIAESR). This page was updated using analysis of Wave 16 of the HILDA Survey in December 2018.
